Welcome to Season 8 of the Aviva Premiership fantasy rugby game. Below are the rules of the game which must be adhered to. If there are any situations that arise in the course of the game which are not covered by the rules, a final decision will be made by the RFU (SJE) as to how the situation will be resolved.
Senior Squads wrote:
The maximum squad size is 40 senior players. If a team has more than 40 players in their squad then they will be fined £1 million per player over the permitted amounts per day for the first seven days. If after 7 consecutive days a team still has more than the permitted number of players then the team will be fined £2 million per player per day, and fined 1 league point per player per day for the next seven days. If after this time a team still has more than the permitted number of players in their squad, the RFU (SJE) will remove players at its discretion to bring them back under the permitted numbers. There will be no right of appeal to players being removed.
Be aware that all tier one international matches which are played during the season will count in the game, and players selected in the match day 23's for those matches will not be eligible to play for their clubs on that weekend, therefore you must give due consideration to the make-up of your squad.
Academy Rules wrote:
Each team will be allowed to have an academy squad of 23 players. Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1993.
Any player, who is at any Premiership club in real life, either in their senior, academy or AASE squads, can be bid for on the domestic bidding page. Players who are at your own club in real life and are coming through the academy system must be bid for if you want them in your own academy.
Transfers wrote:
- Domestic (other AP Teams)
Each team has a budget to use in the purchase of players. Domestic transfers between AP clubs, regardless of nationality of player, should be negotiated between the respective managers, and then confirmed on the Domestic Transfer Confirmation Page.- Domestic (Championship and below)
Each team may during the season purchase no more than 5 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will receive two additional bids to be used exclusively on academy age players. These players must be bid for on the National League Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by the RFU on its own merits before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.- Foreign
To make a foreign transfer (i.e. from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made on the Foreign Transfers Page, which will be considered by the RFU against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.
There will be a summer foreign transfer window, which will run as follows.
Player Draft
Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will participate in a player draft beginning the week of June 22nd. Both sides will be allowed to draft two players each. The draft picks will go as follows; 1. Worcester 2. Wasps 3. Wasps 4. Worcester.
Round Bidding
There will be two rounds of bidding. The first window will run the week starting June 29th and the second the week starting July 3rd. All sides will be allowed to sign one player each during the window. These bids are not protected if you do not have the funds in place to bid during the window you will lose the bid.
Open Bidding
From July 13th the foreign market will be open to all bids similar to previous seasons. Due to the world cup the window will remain open till the end of September.
Player Releases wrote:
Managers may choose to release players from their clubs, for which they will be offered compensation
Compensation will be paid as follows
£2 million – current international (must have played international rugby in the previous 12 months)
£1.5 million – former international
£1m – top flight experience
£0.5m – other
All released players will be deemed to have joined a Championship side and can be bid for on the National League Bidding page.
Retirements wrote:
There will be no compensation for retiring players. Should a player who retires decide to come out of retirement and play again, then he will automatically go back to the club who he was playing for in the game when he retired.
Fixtures wrote:
There will be 22 Aviva Premiership games per season, plus the play offs. There will also be European Rugby Champions Cup, European Rugby Challenge Cup and Anglo Welsh Cup matches. These games will take place once a week. A match thread will be put up every Monday. Home teams must be named by midnight on Tuesday. Away teams must be named by midnight on Wednesday. Failure to meet these deadlines is punishable by the addition of three match points to the oppositions final score, unless both sides fail to do so. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 20:00 hours on Sunday. Managers will pm the scores that they think will happen from these games (apart from games in which they are involved). An average of all predictions will be taken, and then 0.5 points added to each teams score for each prediction that had them as the winner, and that will then be the final score.
Managers are asked to provide detail as to why they have predicted a result. To be considered a descriptive prediction this must be a full 3 lines long when entered into the text box.
Teams wrote:
When naming your team, not only should you put the starting XV and replacements, but also tactics that your team will employ. Results will be affected by the tactics described.
In addition, each team must have the following:-
For domestic competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 4 of those must be in your starting XV.
For European competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 6 of those must be in your starting XV.
At least 2 props and 1 hooker on the bench.
All players must be eligible (not injured or banned).
Failure to comply with these rules will result in a 1 league point deduction.
If you fail to submit a team for a match, then the other team will be automatically awarded a 30-0 bonus point win. If both teams fail to submit a team, then it will be scored as a 0-0 draw.
Injuries and Suspensions wrote:
Injuries in this game do NOT reflect real life, they will be generated by me.
Players banned in real life will be ineligible for selection in this game for the duration of the ban.
Inclusion of injured/banned players will result in them being replaced by players on the bench, and the bench not having eight players, which may result in punishment if it concerns the front-row.
Punishment for fielding an ineligible player will be loss of one match point.
Financial Rewards wrote:
There will be no rewards for the result of an individual match, instead the managers will receive cash for predicting.
£2m for descriptive predictions
£0.25m for scores on the doors predictions
Bonuses will be awarded on a scaled basis i.e. 2m for 5 games, 1.6m for 4 games and so on
If you fail to predict without first advising me that you are unable to do so that week, you will be fined £1m for a first offence, £2m for a second offence, £3m for a third offence etc upto a maximum of £5m per fine.
AP finishing positions.
Champions: 8m
Runners Up: 6m
Playoff Semi Finalist Losers: 5m
5th: 4m
6th: 3.5m
7th: 3m
8th: 2.5m
9th: 2m
10th: 1.5m

If your budgets falls below minus £10 million for any reason, the administrators (SJE) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation (foreign transfer value) in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Just a heads up that I am away for most of August, not sure if I will have internet. I will try to give feedback for rounds 1 & 2 at some point this week!!
Also my uni course steps up a gear from September so likely I will be on reduced time so just team and predos.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Results are up for the first round of the Summer Tournament:
Get your sides in for Round two, and will update the page tomorrow, so that there is more of a chance to get predos in.
Updated threads will be going up towards the end of the weak.
I would like everyone's squad's correct by the time the first round of foreign bidding is open.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Fluffy when do all the squads need to be sorted e.g. at 40 players in full squad? Can see quite a few releases on their way so could be good way for some of the bottom clubs snapping up some good players.

By close of play Monday would be good, but not putting a definitive deadline on it, with some lads being away next week.

Two free drafts for those listed on the Foreign page. Once completed, the first round of open foreign bidding will take place for all sides. Followed by a second round, once the first is complete.

Guys,
The Summer Tournament Round 2 predos are open until 1800 tomorrow. I probably won't be able to do results until Wednesday morning, unless someone can do them in the meantime
Foreign Window Opening as per the Page tomorrow.
Anything else, let me know, I'll be around!

Also still looking for a manager of Chiefs, if anyone wants to step up or you know someone that may be interested, get them here to run them through everything. I can speak to them and lead them through if someone new as well

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
My biggest need is for better EQ players, so if anyone has a transfer target they really want but can't afford one way or another, feel free to message me and I might be able to use my draft or my own money to acquire them to trade for top class (starter) EQ, so long as Fluxy is happy for that kind of deal not breaching the rules

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Who would you guys release? Richardt Strauss or the older Flynn?
Also, I now have a lot of competition at centre (Ranger, Lowe, Godwin, LLF, Francis, Campagnaro, Taylor) so all of them are available to trade except LLF, for equivalent gain elsewhere or EQ gain elsewhere

Both similar quality CJ. Think I'd hold onto Strauss for the age and fact he gets in and around international squads still so may get seen more.
If anyone is after a decent 7 available all year Matt Todd is available for cash offers

With my 2 targets gone during the draft, where do you think I need to improve? Had a thought about Bill Meakes but not sure if that's too much of a gamble?!

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Where are you looking to strengthen Prop?
Bill Meakes is an Aussie as well isn't he, so there are better ones out there than him at the moment and when you look at some of the Gloucester additions he might not get much of a look in this year.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
See I'm not sure, was looking to improve eq a bit but maybe need a new inside centre/utility back rower.
Meakes has gone to the Force too, wasn't sure whether he is classed as eq as he played for so long in England.

Centre cover for when the Ints are away- esp vulnerable in 6N when Allen, Roberts and Bennett are all, imo, good chances to be unavailable
